Information on the London Shogi Club, shogi events in or near London, and occasional other stuff.
Shogi is Japanese chess, and the key way it differs from regular chess is that when you take your opponent pieces, you keep them, and can 'drop' them back on the board later. It's pretty popular in Japan so you often see it in anime and Japanese art, but it's not very well known in the UK.

The British
Shogi Federation has been asked to provide a representative for the 7th
International Shogi Forum to be held in Kitakyushu, Japan, in October 2017. Only British passport
holders are eligible to be selected. A qualification tournament will be held on Saturday 3rd June.

The exact format of the tournament depends on the number of entries.
We plan to start at 10 am, so players should aim to arrive a little before this.
